Admission to the B.A. Program
Planning Ahead for a Smooth Transfer |
|---|
|
It's important to plan the courses you will take prior to transferring to UWT. Keep track of your progress with these planning aids: |
Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences admits transfer students with more than 40 college-level quarter credits. All applicants with 40 quarter credits are expected to meet the minimum standards for freshman admission including the core subjects requirement (see Freshman Admission section), have a 2.0 GPA, and complete English composition and intermediate algebra before applying to IAS.
When Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences is fully enrolled and there are more qualified applicants than can be accommodated, admission will be competitive and applicants will be evaluated on three principal criteria:
- Appropriateness of academic preparation for the degree program
- Likelihood of success in the degree program
- Relationship between the degree program and academic or career plans and opportunities
Applicants should submit completed applications by the priority application dates. Early applications are encouraged. A completed application includes the Application for Transfer Admission, $50 application fee, two official transcripts from each college or university attended (and a high school transcript if using high school credit to fulfill admission requirements), a personal statement including life and career goals and how the IAS degree will help advance those goals.
This grid reflects admission guidelines for transfer students for the Bachelor of Arts degree (B.A.) with the exception of the prerequisites for the Psychology concentration. See the Psychology concentration for those additional courses.
